Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Alnh^lthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
Kt Tt used to be considered that only
"Jurinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when ypur kidneys are weak
or out of order, yon can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or feel badly," begin
taking th6 great kidney remedy,' Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
ii as your kidney* are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swwnp-Root, the great
kidney. remedy, is soon realized. It

BURTON'S STRONG NERVE.
Ex-senator Burton, of Kansas), has
appealed to the president for pardon.
Burton, it has not been forgotten, is
the United States senator caught with
the goods on him and sentenced to a
nine months in prison and to pay a
fine of $2,500. Payment of the fi tie was
dodged by Ms .decilon to "board it out"
in prison, which added thirty days to
his term. Now when only a .few days
of his term remain to be served heap
peals to the president for a pardon In
order "to partially rehabilitate'- him
self and the president! as was
to be expected and much to general
satisfaction, promptly turned down the
request.
It is a'gainst the rehabiltatlon of such
men as Burton that the public need to
be protected.1 tlere was no you :h ex
posed to temptation, no Ignorant: and
thoughtless .victim of others but a man
shrewd enough to cozen a state like
Kansas into the folly of electing him
to the highest office in its gi:!t. To
pardon such a'man, .to rehabilitate him
and restore him. to equal rights of citi
zenship, would be a travesty upon
justice. Burton will stay in prison un
til the last hour and come out shorn'of
the privilege to hold office. under the
government he betrayed. '/y-i
.It seems an astonishing thln^ in
way that Burton shotild have asked a
pardon, ^iost of us Will consider Tiis
punishment mild. He has not suffered
long imprisonirient it has not bowed
him
#under
a shame so unbearable that
he was unwilling to suffer thirty days
longer in order to save a surn ol' mon
ey. The fact is Burton asked for
pardon because pardoning has'bt-ten the
order of the day and clemency easy
to obtain for the criminal whose
friends are "influential." Executive
clemency has degenerated into a cus
torn and Burton based his hope on this
custom. The president's refusal to
consider his petition should offer a sug
estton to minor executives to ..whom
are granted the pardoning power. The
judicious use, not the abuse of the par
doning power is its only excuse for
existence.
THE BIG CORN EXPOSITION.
Chicago is making preparations for
the greatest corn exposition ever
'brought off in this country. The days
of this event have been fixed, covering
two .weeks from October 5 to 1), 1907
The'greatest sum ever raised lor the
purpose of premiums has been provided
for this show. The full eiten.t of the
premium list has not yet been deter
mined, but' enough progress has been
made that the announcement .is now
out that •very liberal cash prizes •will
be offered for various sections, states
and localities.
One section of the1 exposition will be
open to the world. This section' will
have two divisions one for. Whii:e Dent
and one for Yellowy Dent. In each di
vision at least six premiums -Villi be
awarded, the sum total of premiums in
the section amounting to $5,1)00 or
more. A section for women witli. prizes
amounting to about $1,000 will be pro
vided. Women may exhibit corn of
two classes, yellow corn of any variety
or white corn of any variety, e:ich ex
hibitor belng required to show ten
edrs. Fllnt/corn will for .the first time
at any corn show be awarded liberal
prizes, classes having been arranged for
each of the three varitles—'Yellow, Red
and White-Flint—with & total in. prizes
amounting to about $500.
The big corn exposition is another
Iowa opportunity. The Fat Stock
show has 'become a gathering:, where
prizes wait for Iowa breeders and
feeders to come and take them away.
Few persons living in Iowa realized her
preeminence in cattle and hojrs until
the breeders of this state met and van
quished the best of other state -. This
is as true- of the crop we make our live
stock fat on. No better corn iand ex
ists than in Iowa. Let us get iready to
bring home to Iowa the 'good money
and the glory of the corn exposition.
Every prize stockmen and corn growers
bring to the state lifts and-tugs upward
on the acre price of Iowa cornland.
THAT DANG EROUS SENSE OF HUMOR.
The humorous sense and capacity,
considered as saving fualltles in the
common herd, are pitfalls 'before the
feet of statesmanship. Few statesmen
may afford to be funny. Some there
be, like Sunset Cox of eld, and J.
Adam Bede of later years, who can be
funny, very funny, and hold the job of
statesmanship but the stigma of the
clown has kept many a truly great man
down, The common conception of the
statesman is of one bowed under a
burden of deep thought and plans and
policies hidden from and' incompre
hensible to the common mind. A states
man is always great, always profound,
never funny. When he gets gay he
looses the reverence to his clolh after
the ma'nner of a minister who plays
five hundred and bridge whist
and descends to frivolity. Even the

countries/with which it has effected
reciprocity treaties, such admission to
.continue for perhaps another year,
•pending the preparation °f a perma

the United States will admit German
argols, brandies, still -wines, paintings,
drawings and statuary at the special
rates established by section 3 of the
Dingley tariff act, and will probably
modify certain administrative cus

imposed hardships on German manu

IUWA OPINIONS AND NOTES
The Webster City Freeman-Tribune
thinks "if President Roosevelt will not
accept a third term as president he
should be made chairman of the Pana
ma canal commission. The digging of
that ditch is the most stupendous task
of the kind ever undertaken and
Roosevelt could carry forward the
great work better than any) other man.
He has the utmost confidence of the
people and there would be no 'breath
of scandal connected with the project
If he were at the head," concludes the
Webster City paper.
"The senators can now resume
their between-session occupation of
urging support fo* the administration,"
remarks the Des Moines News.
"The notorious M. L. Temple is rec
omended for attorney in the southern
district," declares the Odebolt Chron
icle. "A more unfit appointment than
that of Temple could not be made.
The president knows all about him,
and should he follow the recommenda
tion of the delegation he will virtually
repudiate the policy he has been ad
vocating since he assumed the execu
tive chair."
"If It Is true that the soul has weight,
how. much would the soul of Mrs.
Holnian, the mother of Evelyn Nes
bit Thaw, weigh?" Inquires the Cedar
Rapids Republican, AV?
"What the republican party of Iowa
needs—and this is not saying the re
pjibllcan party of Iowa is peculiar
is a revival of religion," asserts the
Sioux City Journal.
"There Is one particularly strong
point in favor of woman's suffrage,"
says the Spirit Lake Beacon. "A leg
islature. made up in part of women
would no floubt talk a great many fool
bills to death."
"The state •university, the normal
school and the college at Ames," says
.the"Hampton Chronicle, "have -each a
different mission, and one board would
be no more fit to conduct them than an
ordinary doctor would be to practice
medicine and Christian Science at the
same time—he couldn't do it."
"Strange how differently people will
look at things," soliloquizes the Musca
tine Journal. "A bill for two cent fare
on the railroads passed both houses
of the Iowa legislature without a dis
senting vote, but when a bill is intro
duced exempting rural telephone lines
from taxation it is promptly voted
down, and this, too, in the face of the
fact that counting the time of,state and
county officials at actual cost and the
entire ta,x received will not pay the
cost of collecting It." /A*
Observing that the proposed primary
law does not exactly suit the politicians
of either party, the Cedar Riipids Gaz
ette says this "is to .be expected, of th»
measure has any merit A primary
law is not intended to please politic
ians."
TESTING CORN.
Will it Be Profitable to Test Each Ear
of Seed Corn Which Is Intended for
Planting This Year?
The seed corn which is intended for
planting this year is in very bad con
dition. This is the opinion of a large
number of men who have examined
and judged thousands o*f samples of
seed corn at the farmers' institutes and
corn shows held in all parts of the state
this winter:
Almost without exception, one-fourth
to three-fourths of the seed brought
in for exhibition show plainly that the
germs are dead or in a very weak con
dition. These samples probably repre
sent quite truly the seed which the
owners intend to plant this spring. If
the seed is only one-fourth to three
fourths strong, will it not be profitable
to test each ear and discard the bad
and weak ones?
The l&te frosts and rains in many
parts of the state last fall prolonged
the growing period and kept the corn
from drying out. When the hard Octo
by and November freezes came there,
was still a large amount of moisture in
the corn. The germs of the corn which
froze with this moisture in them were
killed or weakened, consequently a
large-portion of the seed saved as the
corn, was husked for cribbing was al
ready killed.
The condition is especially bad in
northern Iowa, but is very unsatisfac
tory in other parts of the state and in
'other states In the corn belt.
Now, not next May and June when
the corn is being replanted, Is the time
to think aboitt this.
Now, during March, while we have
the time, is the time to test our seed
corn.
Farmers ar'e most strongly urged to
test six kernels from every ear which
they intend to plant next spring. This
will take about three days for the av
erage farmer. It will cost him nothing.
He cannot hurt his -corn by "testing it.
It will bring him a "stand of corn."
One ear will plant three hundred
hills. A bad ear thrown out and re
placed by a good one will prevent there
being 300 missing hills in the field next
summer.
If seed must be bought, it should
be purchased in the ear as near home
as possible. If it has not been tested
before being sold, the purchaser will do
well to test each ear and discard all
showing weak or bad germination. No
one can afford to be careless about the
seed he plants.
The seed this year is very bad,
but if every farmer will test six kernels
from each ear of his seed, he has it
within his power to plant seed which
Will grow strong.

Save 'the Pigs.
Everyone who lost a healthy pig last
spring lost the equivalent of a $5 bill.
The loss of six pigs or an ordinary lit
ter, amounts to a month's wages for
the average farm hand. The loss of
five pigs on each Iowa farm last spring
meant $5,000,000 less in actual farm
profits. How many of us lost more
than five pigs?.
Loss of pl^rs is largely 1ue to im
proper methods of feeding before far
rowing and lack of care at. farrowing
time. The man who fedds his brood
sows all winter on a strictly corn ra
tion, is simply courting failure and can
reasonably expect to lose part of his
pigs. The man who feeds oats, shorts,
bran, tankage, or some other protein
food, along with his corn, can reason
ably expect good success at farrowing
time,' provided he furnishes suitable
quarters.
It is a "penny wise, pound foolish,"
policy that does not provide good quar
ters for each sow. One pig will pay th»
cost, while lack of care often results
in the loss of the whole litter. Often
times, a year's profits are lost in a week
thru lack of preparation.
Now is the time to make arrange
ments for the April pigs. Besides a
pen to herself, each sow should have
surisfilne, exercise and good food. Some
breeders prefer the central hog house.
Others, the individual. Most of us will
be obliged to make- the best use possi
ble of what} we have at hand. The
careless man will lose his pigs, with
the best buildings. The careful, busi
ness-like man will often succeed {vlth
meager equipment. The small individ
ual cot enables the hog producer to
get his sow away from the muddy lot
out on the blue grass hill, where she
farrows undisturbed, and where the
new-born, litter get£ plenty of exer
cise, sunshine and green food, three
very successful things in pork pro
duction.
It Is a serious mistake to feed the
sow anything the first day after far
rowing. Give her nothing but tepid
water. The second day allow her to
have a little food of the same kind as
that fed her before farrowing. In
crease the feed gradually, the rate of
Increase depending upon the size of the
litter and milking proclivities of the
sow. The mistake is often made of
starting the sow on some other.kind of
feed Immediately after she farrows.
This is likely to cause scours in the
pigs. No man can tell another how to
feed. The successful feeder is the
man who keeps a watchful eye on his
herd and cuts down a little on the lit
ter "that is getting too fat or gives ad
ditional feed to the sow with the lean
litter always taking great care not to
allow the youngsters to contract scours
during the first' two weeks of the pigs'
life.. ..
Hi'- "ij
Grow Clover.
The time for sowing oats Is almosr
at :hand and like-wise the time for
sowing clover. Do not sow an acre
of, pats without sowing about ten
pounds of clover seed with the oats.
Thg very fact that there are
mmm
1
thirty
acres o^ oats to one acre of clover in
this state, shows that tVie -vast ma
jority of the oats sown In Iowa is not
accompanied by seeding with cloverl
Iowa raises* approximately nine and
one-half million acres of corn, six and
one-haft million acres of oats and only
two hundred and ae\ en thousand acres
of clover, or forty-six acres of corn to
one acre of clover and thirty acres of
mm
oats to each acre of clover. This shows
that the prevailing system of farming
consists of growing corn most of'the
time and "resting" the land once in
two or three .years by growing a crop
Of
oats. :-',*
A rotation of crops is absolutely
necessary, in a permanent system of
farming and a rotation which, does not
include clover or some other legumin
ous crop, is scarc«!y worthy of the
name. By leguminous crops, we mean
all the clovers alfalfa, cow peas, soy
beans, etc., all of which are capable
of using the nitrogen of the air. These
crops, which are rich in nitrogen, are
the crops which are rich in protein and
every farmer who hats bought feed
knows that the more protein a feed
contains, the more it costs him.( Corn
is thf best fattening feed in the world
but there must be a certain ajnount
of protein fed with 'it or the full value
of thp corn cannot .be obtained. Why
not-grow this prot'ein'tin our farms in
the form of clover and at the same
time,' add. fertility to the soil so that
our children will not be compelled to
farm a worn out farm or seek fertile
soil in some other locality? T^he man
who lays up fertility in his soil by
sowing clover, Is doing his boy a
greater good than if he lays up money
in the. bank for him.
The growing of clover fits perfectly
into a system of farming which is
designed to increase the amount of
produce obtained from the land and at
the same time leave the soil more fer
tile.
The farmers who sow oats this
spring can add many dollars to their
own income and millions to the wealth
of the state both now and in future
years, if they will sow clover seed lib-

Tho Home Garden
approach of spring should re­
mind us that garden making season is
at hand. From a purely commercial
standpoint, it will bo found that no
other plot of ground will bring such
liberal returns to the home as does
the family garden. From a "home
making" itind "health-giving" stand
point, its value cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents. No matter how
good our intentions, it is not possible
for one to visit the markets and pur
chase dally Supplies of fresh, crisp,
tempting fruits and vegetables suchias
may b6 had directly from our own
gardens.
Let the garden be convenient to the
house, a warm slope is best, «. wide
gate will ullow driving in with a team
and then see to it that the strawberry
plants, peas, benns, potatoes and other
crops are put in in rows which may
be cultivated with 'horse power instead
of depending upon the hoe for so much
of the summer tending. Apply a lib
eral amount of well rotted manure
now.
It is best to double disc before plow
ing the garden: it will then require less
labor to fit the soil, then, too, it will
warm up earlier and conserve the
moisture better. For most garden
crops, it is best to leave the soil in
fine tilth but not worked down Jirm
as is the ease with most field crops.

Care of Milk and Cream.
The better jhe prices 'brought by the
butter, (he greater are the farmer's
profit. This is just as true when the
butter is made in a creamery as when
made by the farmer. The price of but
ter on the large markets depends prin
cipally on its flavor. When butter is
sohl to consumers directly the be3t
butter is also in the greatest demand.
During the last ten years the flavor
of Iowa butter has deteriorated to an
astonishing degree. There .is no doubt
that this poorer flavor is caused by bad
hand separator cream. Practically all
the bad hand separator cream was good
when first skimmed but developed a
bad flavor because it was not properly
cared for on the farm. How unbusiness
like it seems to breed cows, feed them,
milk them and then to let .the milk or
cream spoil. This happens when 'the
products are about' to be sold to bring
a reward for all this work and expense.
It is impossible to make good butter
from spoiled -milk or cream. The but-,
termaker ripens the cream before
churning. This souring is such an im
portant and technical process that it
can be successful if allowed to take
place naturally, without control.
Milk and cream can bo preserved
very successfully toy applying cleanli
ness and cold. Keep out dirt at all
times, especially during milking. Wash
the utensils and the separator after us
ing Use hot water, a brush, and
soap, sal soda or a washing powder.
No process in dairying is so Im
portant in its effect on flavor and value
of milk and cream as cooling. Cool
the products at once and as low as
possible. This is best done in a large
tank of water or in running water, A
small tank of stagnant water is not ef
fective.
